Common Calculus Problems

Step-by-step solutions to typical calculus problems

Related Rates Problem

Problem: A balloon is being inflated so that its volume increases at 100 cmΒ³/min. How fast is the radius changing when r = 5 cm?

TI-84 Approach:
β€’ V = (4/3)Ο€rΒ³
β€’ dV/dt = 4Ο€rΒ² Γ— dr/dt
β€’ 100 = 4Ο€(5)Β² Γ— dr/dt
β€’ Solve: dr/dt = 100/(100Ο€)
βœ“ Answer: dr/dt β‰ˆ 0.318 cm/min

Problem: Find the area between y = xΒ² and y = 4 - xΒ²

TI-84 Method:
β€’ Find intersection: xΒ² = 4 - xΒ²
β€’ Solve: x = ±√2
β€’ Set up: βˆ«β‚‹βˆšβ‚‚^βˆšβ‚‚ (4 - xΒ² - xΒ²) dx
